Moderate role for GitHub Issues generally available 🚀

We’ve introduced a new Moderate role that allows you to moderate and edit issues without granting access to code.

Below are the actions you can perform with the Moderate role.

Content editing

• Edit issues you didn’t author, including issue titles, bodies, and comments

Moderation

• Transfer issues between repositories. This requires Moderate role access or above on both the source and destination repository.
• Hide and unhide issue comments
• Lock and unlock conversation on an issue
• Comment on locked issues

Managing metadata

• Create and edit issue labels
• Create and edit issue milestones
• Create and edit discussion categories

Check out the documentation on repository roles for more details.
